Pros
Good for fresher can easily gather knowledge from senior but No senior are wish to work here. We can gather more knowledge from more technology which was suggested by the Technical Manger, but the quotes of Technical Manager is "Learn new technology and bring with new ideas". As of my concern for studying new technology we need a time and which was also need to consider by them. In the above case, we can learn new technology but without fulfilled knowledge. We can work in a friendly environment but only applicable for the Manager and BA's. If you worked for 2 years we can get the experience of 5 years based on the work hours(20 hrs a day). Company follows the rule "You can leave the office when you completed the work". But you need to log your work time for 8 Hrs. In the All hands meeting you can get more stories which is irrelevant to the work but we can have a entertainment. The meeting is only about 2 mins which takes 20 mins for with lot of translations.
Cons
Developer who works loyal and dedicated to the projects are consider as a slave dog(who need to be in office by 4:00 AM early in the Morning and Leave office by 12:00 AM in the Mid night and need to think only of project without work life balance and Individual needs.) The principals which need to follow for name shake by the higher officials for chilly reasons. You can't improve your logical ability , optimal solution for the problems because of dirty fix suggested by managers and Team leads. Developers are rated by their BA's who don't know what is the difficulty of the task. There is no responses from HR we need to remind them multiple times but with the reply "Middle of Something". The replies are irrelevant to our queries. We can also get the responses like "OK" for Yes or No questions. Manager and HR will not do a favor for the employees. The queries like relieving details, leave details, insurance details, PF details,salary details., etc. which is the basic knowledge need to known by the employee. You need to "Commit the code in case of emergency" even if you are in bad medical status. In a modern environment, we can't live without mobile and food but in this organization only in Madurai we want to switch off the mobile phone and food not allowed in the work place only for employees. But there is no restriction for managers. We want work without any access to the code. For access we need to spend approx of 1hr for the task of 30 mins. For the network engineer, no one can work as a network technicians under the supervision of Manager. (You need to have a remote access for the crashed machine because the machine is crashed).

Pros
You should not have to work and get a mac book to surf youtube (Only if you are a manager or BA) The manager is highly skilled in technology who can even take remote of the crashed server, add alert[) to Java code and have the ability to finish a large scale project in 2 weeks. You can get dinner and breakfast reimbursements ( Only if you came by 4 AM Morning and Leave by 11:00 PM) You can get yearly appraisals with 2 to 3 months delay which is normal( Only if you give the commitment to work for next year) You can get a free coffee ( Only if you are not bothered about health) Can get 5 years of experience in 3 years ( Based on Working hours assuming 8hrs is one working day ) You don’t need to wash your tiffin boxes if you are not a manager. You will not lose code anywhere but you need to commit and push code on any emergency. Your working times will be monitored very accurately. Because Vernalis is having RFID enabled doors to automate attendance, a tablet for manual entry, Admin to note the attendance, BA to send same attendance report to admin again. You will get 12 Casual leaves( Only if you send a mail before 2 weeks) You can park your family vehicles inside office parking ( Only If you are a manager ) They will change the policies very often( Only if the policy change is favourable to management like the cancellation of leave reimbursements) You will get exposure to multiple technologies, multiple clients even connection with multiple politicians like Tech Leads, Managers. You will not be distracted by the internet inside office since all the sites are blocked for developers. but Vernalis is web apps development company for a sake. You will not be distracted by mobile while working( Only if you are a developer, to safeguard the client data from developers, Still BAs and Managers can use mobile since they don’t know about clients).
Cons
The company doesn't have any positive values. they are simply sucking the blood of poor developers. Some project has the inappropriate proportion of developers and one who monitor developer like Tech Leads and BAs. The Quality of the product is very worse because developers have 2 weeks to develop and BAs, PMs have 2 months to decide when can we start the project. If Dev's have enough time to develop, there is no need to lick the feet of onsite teams and clients. Management does not believe the developers that's why they have enforced restricted internet access, monitoring proxies and ban of mobiles inside the office. Salary is very less and no perks at all.
